Chapter 56 Thoughts

"Sir, we're here," the madam said outside the door.

Xie Tingzhou raised his eyebrows, and the waiters entered the room one by one. About six or seven of them stood in a row in the hall.

The madam knew that this man was picky, but she couldn't be sure of his thoughts and preferences, so he had to choose all types.

Some are tall and burly, some are weak scholars...

Xie Tingzhou's eyes rested on one person for a few seconds. The waiter was not tall, delicate and fair, with a small face.

The old madam was sensible and pushed the waiter, "Young Master is looking at you, so hurry up and go."

The waiter slowly stepped forward and said, "Master."

Xie Tingzhou looked at him, looking up and down.

When the madam saw that it was done, he smiled and said: "He is still a pure man, and the young master should be slow to use it."

The madam left with the rest of the people, and only Xie Tingzhou and the waiter were left in the room.

The waiter has been trained, and although he is still a humble waiter, he knows how to serve others.

He knelt on the ground and reached out to caress Xie Tingzhou's calf.

Xie Tingzhou frowned, and there was a strong nausea in his throat.

The waiter's hand slowly moved up, and just as it slid over his knee, he felt a sudden pain in his chest, and was kicked to the ground by Xie Tingzhou.

The waiter clutched his chest and looked at him in horror. He didn't know which step he made wrong, "Mr. Master."

Xie Tingzhou waved his hand.

He got the answer, but his heart sank secretly.

The waiter rolled up to his feet, and as soon as he opened the door, the eavesdropper who was leaning against the door almost fell in.

Li Jifeng heard from the old bustard that Xie Tingzhou had come to Zuiyun Tower and called the waiter.

He couldn't miss this scene, so he went upstairs directly.

Unexpectedly, before he heard anything, the waiter was kicked out again.

"What are you here for?" Xie Tingzhou asked.

"Of course I care about you," Li Jifeng dragged the chair closer and said, "I'm afraid you will get into trouble. The person in your cell is very special to you, right?"

Li Jifeng chuckled, waving his folding fan and walked to sit opposite Xie Tingzhou, "I'm also curious, what kind do you like after you pick and choose?"

Xie Tingzhou's thoughts were confused.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Jifeng said: "You don't like everyone in the world, either male or female, but you just like to hang out with those beasts all the time."

Xie Tingzhou's eyes were cold, and with one glance, Li Jifeng quickly changed his words.

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I mean Cang and Bai Yu, neither the ones flying in the sky nor those running on the ground like me."

Xie Tingzhou didn't answer.

Li Jifeng leaned on the chair and said to himself: "Look at me, as a prince, except for some attainments in literary talent, I know nothing else."

Xie Tingzhou laughed at his boast, "You must be accomplished in pleasure."

Li Jifeng pretended not to hear, "Don't you just want to have fun in your life? As the prince of Beilin, Xie Tingzhou is even more noble than me, an unpopular prince, but do you live a happy life?"

Xie Tingzhou stared at the window sill silently.

For the first time in my life, I asked myself: Are you happy? It had been a long time since he had been happy.

He has seen conspiracies, seen life and death, seen generals wrapped in horse leather, and seen victims starved of food.

This is not enough, now he is trapped in this imperial city like a walking corpse.

But he didn't care about any of this.

He was just doing things based on instinct. Whether it was war or political intrigue, it was not what he wanted. He was just afraid that if he didn't do it, he would slowly rot in the darkness.

He needs to stand in the sun.

Li Jifeng seemed to have thought about it, and his originally dissolute expression dropped, "Actually, I'm not happy either. I also want to stabilize the country, but look at me, I know those people behind my back saying that I can't hold up a wall with mud, but are they right? Wrong, I’m just mud and can’t do anything.”

Li Jifeng's voice lowered, "Zhang Zhou, do you think I want to have fun all day long? But if I weren't Mu Mu, all of my brothers would want my life."

Only by not being a threat can one's life be saved.

They are all people who hold high positions but can't help themselves. No one is any better.

"So," Li Jifeng poured him a cup of tea, "Let's enjoy ourselves."

Xie Tingzhou understands the idea of ​​carpe diem, but he can't accept himself like this.

The atmosphere was too dull, which was what Li Jifeng couldn't bear the most.

After a cup of tea, he was still the dissolute Ninth Prince, "The book says it well, if love lasts for a long time, it will not be between a male and a female."

Xie Tingzhou gritted his teeth and raised his eyes, "Are you stupid from reading?"

Li Jifeng's eyes were sincere, "You don't have to feel bad. I've seen that person. Don't worry, you must be the one up there."

Xie Tingzhou looked at him, got up and left.

Li Jifeng quickly threw the cup and chased out the door, "I'm telling you, it doesn't matter if he is a man...Help--"

Seeing Xie Tingzhou pull out the knife hanging from his waist, Li Jifeng ran away.

…

Shen Yu had been beaten and injured, but she didn't expect that being whipped would hurt so much.

The entire back was burning, except for the thicker fabric of the corset, which blocked her a little and saved her some pain.

Shen Yu didn't dare to call the doctor, so Shen Yu could only apply the medicine herself. Since her back was inconvenient, she looked in the mirror and sprinkled some medicine.

It's just to see which wound has good luck and get more medicine.

Shen Yu grimaced in pain. No matter how many times she greeted Xie Tingzhou's ancestors, she could not understand the hatred in her heart.

She fell asleep in pain. When she woke up, her mouth was dry and she had no strength. "Is anyone there?"

She opened her mouth to shout, only to realize that her throat was hoarse.

There was no response from outside the door. She forced herself to get out of bed, took a few sips of cold tea from the pot, and then lay back on the bed.

Xie Tingzhou didn't leave after all, and stayed overnight in Zuiyun Tower.

Xifeng climbed up the stairs three steps at a time, saw Changliu standing at the door, and asked, "Where is His Highness?"

Changliu raised his chin, "In the room."

He stopped Xifeng as he passed by, and whispered, "His Highness is in a bad mood today."

Xifeng nodded, entered the room and stood aside without saying a word.

Xie Tingzhou leaned on the couch and turned the pages of the book, "What are you doing?"

Xifeng's expression was serious, "I came to report to His Highness that Shiyu's whip has been received."

"I received it, and there is no need to report this to me." Xie Tingzhou said calmly.

Xifeng paid attention to Xie Tingzhou's expression, but he didn't see any changes, but the book in his hand didn't turn the page for a long time.

After a while, Xifeng asked boldly, "I stopped him from taking duty for three days, and then..."

Xifeng stopped talking because he saw Xie Tingzhou looking at him.

Xie Tingzhou said indifferently: "Do all of you think I treat him differently?"

The answer is yes, but Xifeng dare not answer.

Xie Tingzhou already knew the answer from his silence.

It turned out that he had been out of control for a long time. Everyone saw it, but he was the only one who was confused.

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and continued to read the book, saying lightly: "He doesn't need to take turns, don't let him appear in front of me again in the future."

Xifeng looked up in shock, and then lowered his head quickly, "What should be done after the Yanliangguan case is over?"

"Let him go, whether he wants to leave or stay. If he wants to stay, find him a job in Beijing."

Xie Tingzhou didn't even raise his head. Xifeng went out for a long time before he turned his head and looked out the window, "Bring a pot of wine."

I don't know why the love started, nor do I know where it ended.

Maybe if I can't see people, the thoughts will stop.

I will always get used to it, because he has long been used to giving up.
